Every business needs communication through which you can efficiently make deals and relationships with other competitors. Negotiation matters when you have to get your deal done at highly reasonable costs for earning a profit. Its human nature that he or she always tries to win every negotiation, which is not possible every time. So sometimes you have to think about that whether you are right in this negotiation process or not. Even if you are not right, you have to negotiate with proper procedure and skills so that partner will not get offended or feel suppressed in front of you. Try to persuade the other person with whom you are making the deal.
It is a totally different thing than what price you want for your property and what price your property is worth. As if you have settled the price of your house according to your desire instead of looking at the worth of house it will not make the deal efficient. If your property's price is not settled rightly you are not able to talk with the client in an effective and persuasive way. Therefore, dealing with the client by giving the right price of the property can give you more capability to negotiate effectively.
In real estate business, partnership gets successful when both of the parties feel that they have won the negotiation. Negotiate in a way that other person feels like you are properly getting his or her point and is focusing on solving his or her problem. If the other person feels that, you are trying to suppress him or her that person will get offended and the negotiation will ultimately lead to the loss of your business. Try to deal with the client in a way that his or her opinion will be considered as well as yours so that both of you get satisfied at the end of this negotiation.
When you are negotiating in a business never ever, take things personally as this can affect the business relationship. You have to look at each and every aspect with a positive mind as whatever you are giving to your client is also coming back towards you in any other way. While negotiating you have to understand that whatever you are talking about is the part of the deal, not your personal discussion. As when you get personal and started taking things the wrong way this can lead to misunderstanding and also effects the deal.
Being realistic in business deals is necessary as when you get stubborn while negotiating this can cause damage to your deals. If you want to sell the property, getting stuck with your desired price is not a right decision. This can affect the deal as when you stuck to the price you have settled and it's not suitable to the client he or she might cancel the deal. So selling the property in lower amount is better than not selling it at all.

George Noory Interviews B. Creme Re: Maitreya's Emergence & the Star Sign-Part 1
By Dr. Scott Johnson | August 2, 2009
Hear the recent 7/31/09 interview that caused George Noory to become physically ill causing him to stop interviewing Benjamin Creme (Maitreya's wicked version of John the Baptist). This has never happened to Mr. Noory in 5000+ interviews. You will also see that this happened to many of his listeners as well. Listen as Creme discloses that the heralding in of Maitreya is not by a star (as he has proposed in the past) but rather this supposed star will be (and are) 4 separate gigantic UFO's that will appear in 4 quadrants of the earth. We will also look at how Hollywood movies like "District 9" and the upcoming mini-series remake "V" are preparing the masses for this very scenario.
Jesus said in Luke 21:8: "And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them."
From Share International (Maitreya's UN promoted website): Who is Maitreya? He has been expected for generations by all of the major religions. Christians know him as the Christ, and expect his imminent return. Jews await him as the Messiah; Hindus look for the coming of Krishna; Buddhists expect him as Maitreya Buddha; and Muslims anticipate the Imam Mahdi or Messiah.

Winton's final attraction is the Dinosaur Stampede, also known as Lark Quarry, after one of the volunteers that helped excavate the original site. The site is considered to be the site of the world's only known record of a dinosaur stampede with fossilised footprints are interpreted as a predator dinosaur stalking and causing a stampede of around 150 two-legged dinosaurs. The Lark Quarry site is about 110 km (68 miles) south west of Winton.


These were definitely the wrong shoes to wear today," Christina said as we moved—her in front, me behind—along a narrow ridge of burnished mud. It was a bit sketchy, actually, trying to grip the skin of this washed-out bluff a few hundred feet above North River Drive. The place we walked is known locally as Satan's Slide, and is maybe the highest point in Hummel Park out on the northern edge of Omaha. The park—all scrubby forest and shaded valley—has long been a repository for some of the city's darkest urban legends.
Satan's Slide, for one, is not only an ideal spot for minors to avoid curfew and surreptitiously drink the dozens of Budweisers and Colt 45s that pile at the bottom of every crevice here, but is also the place where some poor guy once ended his life by driving a car clean off the side of it. There's also the persistent talk of satanic rites played out in the little stone pavilion near the park's center (the pentagram spray-painted there on the floor isn't helping put that particular rumor to rest). There are the Civil War elms whose branches bow with a sullen tilt toward the ground, pulled, supposedly, by the haunted weight of the men lynched here generations ago. There was the colony of albinos exiled out of town and into these woods, known for nabbing the occasional unguarded child for supper. And then, of course, ten years ago, there was the very real child, a twelve-year-old girl for whom a three-foot grave had been made, after her kidnapping and murder, along the winding and shadowed road Christina and I had just driven to get in here.
The sumac, mainly, which was one of the few plants growing up there in the baked and trampled soil of the bluff. Christina (the girl with the wrong shoes) needed the fruit of the plant (and fruit really is a loose term here—the sumac seed being covered only by a thin and hairy red skin, no fleshy meat like a cherry or pear). She'd been making muslin bags that she hoped to dye a particular sumac shade of red. After steeping the fruit in hot water for a few hours she'd simply swap out the berries for the fabric and let the natural color soak in. I'd read that by following nearly the same method I could make a vitamin C-rich tea, or a sweetened chilled drink similar to lemonade (pink lemonade in this case). Plus, my friend Frank had suggested making an infusion of sumac in alcohol to contribute to a saison beer he planned to brew at summer's end.
Christina skirted, half sliding half crawling, between the plants, pulling her knife across stalks as thick as her thumb, just below the fruit's bulbous drupe—a torch of burnt red sprouting by the dozen from each spare green shrub. Though she cited only her own random desire as inspiration for coming out here on a day off to collect the most out-of-the-way plant in the city, Christina is not alone in her pastime. Increasingly, many otherwise regular people have been drawn into the shaggy, untoward acres around their homes and cities in hopes of digging and plucking and collecting their way back to a more intimate relationship with the earth and its constituents.
Oklahoma's New Liquor Laws are Better for Business — Or Are They?


Summer – it's the time of everyday celebrations, getting outside, enjoying the company of friends, and slowing down just a little whenever we can. And what better way than to pack a picnic and head to the park? We're here to help with a fail-proof (gluten-free) menu of simple, healthy recipes you can make ahead, so you can create your own delicious spread in the grass. Read on for the only four recipes you need… just add a bottle of wine and a big picnic blanket!
In a small food processor, pulse the cheese and herbs together until creamy. Serve with the crackers.
Add chicken legs to a large Ziploc bag. In a small bowl, combine BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, oil, salt and pepper, and stir well. Transfer the marinade to the bag with the chicken legs, close the bag, and massage gently to coat the chicken. Let sit for at least an hour or preferably overnight. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken legs on the grill about 15-20 minutes, flipping as needed. In the last five minutes, brush with extra BBQ sauce, but careful not to burn the sauce!
Combine the corn and peas in a microwave-safe bowl and heat just until warmed. Quickly sauté the asparagus in a skillet over medium-high heat, just 4-5 minutes. In a bowl, combine quinoa, corn, peas, and asparagus. Squeeze the 1/2 lemon over everything and toss. Fold in the feta and fresh herbs. Finish with salt and pepper.
Cut both the watermelon and cantaloupe in half. Using a melon baller (our new favorite kitchen tool!), scoop out round spheres of watermelon and cantaloupe and transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lime over the fruit, then sprinkle with the thinly sliced mint leaves.

Q: How could I put a method parameter in the name of a property at runtime I am trying to shorten this method, as there must be a better way to do it.
Where it references the Public Properties Line1X, Line1Y, Line2X ... in the case statement, I would like to somehow replace the 1, 2 in these properties at runtime with the variable lineNo value to stop the repetition. e.g Line(lineNo)X
switch (lineNo)
{
    case "Line 1":
        switch (parameter)
        {
            case "DecX":
                if (Line1X > 0)
                    Line1X -= 1;
                break;
            case "IncX":
                if (Line1X < LabelWidth)
                    Line1X += 1;
                break;
            case "DecY":
                if (Line1Y > 0)
                    Line1Y -= 1;
                break;
            case "IncY":
                if (Line1Y < LabelHeight)
                    Line1Y += 1;
                break;
        }
        break;
    case "Line 2":
        switch (parameter)
        {
            case "DecX":
                if (Line2X > 0)
                    Line2X -= 1;
                break;
            case "IncX":
                if (Line2X < LabelWidth)
                    Line2X += 1;
                break;
            case "DecY":
                if (Line2Y > 0)
                    Line2Y -= 1;
                break;
            case "IncY":
                if (Line2Y < LabelHeight)
                    Line2Y += 1;
                break;
        }
        break;
    }
}

A: You just need to store your lines in an array and use an index to access them e.g.
private int[] _xLines = new int[2] { Line1X, Line2X };
private int[] _yLines = new int[2] { Line1Y, Line2Y };

public void AdjustLine(string parameter, int lineNo)
{
    switch (parameter)
    {
        case "DecX":
            if (_xLines[lineNo - 1] > 0)
                _xLines[lineNo - 1] -= 1;
            break;
        case "IncX":
            if (_xLines[lineNo - 1] < LabelWidth)
                _xLines[lineNo - 1] += 1;
            break;
        case "DecY":
            if (_yLines[lineNo - 1] > 0)
                _yLines[lineNo - 1] -= 1;
            break;
        case "IncY":
            if (_yLines[lineNo - 1] < LabelHeight)
                _yLines[lineNo - 1] += 1;
            break;
    }
}

If you need to add to the number of lines during runtime then you can use a list instead of an array.

A: YungDeiza was a bit faster then me and I am suggesting nearly the same, but I would use a class together with the array. I would also put the functions into an array ... I am going to come up with an even better code soon:
  private class Line
  {
    public Line(Action<int> sx, Func<int> gx, Action<int> sy, Func<int> gy)
    {
      this._SetX = sx;
      this._SetY = sy;
      this._GetX = gx;
      this._GetY = gy;
    }
    private Action<int> _SetX;
    private Action<int> _SetY;
    private Func<int> _GetX;
    private Func<int> _GetY;
    public int X { get { return this._GetX(); } set { this._SetX(value); } }
    public int Y { get { return this._GetY(); } set { this._SetY(value); } }
  }

  private int TryParse(string remove, string text)
  {
    try
    {
      return int.Parse(text.Replace(remove, string.Empty)) - (int)decimal.One;
    }
    catch
    {
      return (int)decimal.MinusOne;
    }
  }

  private void New(string lineNo, string parameter)
  {
    // using System;
    // using System.Collections.Generic;
    int lineIndex = TryParse("Line ", lineNo);

    Dictionary<string, Action<Line>> funktions = new Dictionary<string, Action<Line>>();
    funktions.Add("DecX", l => { if (l.X > decimal.Zero) l.X--; });
    funktions.Add("IncX", l => { if (l.X < this.LabelWidth) l.X++; });
    funktions.Add("DecY", l => { if (l.Y > decimal.Zero) l.Y--; });
    funktions.Add("IncY", l => { if (l.Y < this.LabelHeight) l.Y++; });

    List<Line> lines = new List<Line>();
    lines.Add(new Line(i => this.Line1X = i, () => this.Line1X, i => this.Line1Y = i, () => this.Line1Y));
    lines.Add(new Line(i => this.Line2X = i, () => this.Line2X, i => this.Line2Y = i, () => this.Line2Y));

    if (funktions.ContainsKey(parameter) && lineIndex > decimal.Zero && lineIndex < lines.Count)
      funktions[parameter](lines[lineIndex]);
    else
      return; // what ever happesn if lineNo or parameter are not correct
  }

Greetings
Juy Juka
PS: Here some more - perhaps better code - using methods in the line class instead of a dictionary with a string as a key.
  private class Line
  {
    public Line(Y o, Action<int> sx, Func<int> gx, Action<int> sy, Func<int> gy) { this._SetX = sx; this._SetY = sy; this._GetX = gx; this._GetY = gy; this.o = o; }
    private Y o;
    private Action<int> _SetX;
    private Action<int> _SetY;
    private Func<int> _GetX;
    private Func<int> _GetY;
    public int X { get { return this._GetX(); } set { this._SetX(value); } }
    public int Y { get { return this._GetY(); } set { this._SetY(value); } }

    public virtual void DecX() { if (this.X > decimal.Zero) this.X--; }
    public virtual void IncX() { if (this.X < this.o.LabelWidth) this.X--; }
    public virtual void DecY() { if (this.X > decimal.Zero) this.X--; }
    public virtual void IncY() { if (this.Y < this.o.LabelHeight) this.X--; }
  }

  private void New(string lineNo, string parameter)
  {
    // using System;
    // using System.Collections.Generic;
    List<Line> lines = new List<Line>();
    lines.Add(new Line(this, i => this.Line1X = i, () => this.Line1X, i => this.Line1Y = i, () => this.Line1Y));
    lines.Add(new Line(this, i => this.Line2X = i, () => this.Line2X, i => this.Line2Y = i, () => this.Line2Y));

    int lineIndex;
    if (!int.TryParse((lineNo ?? string.Empty).Replace("Line ", string.Empty), out lineIndex)) lineIndex = (int)decimal.MinusOne;
    else lineIndex--;
    if (lineIndex < decimal.Zero || lineIndex > lines.Count) return; // or what ever you do on a worong line number

    System.Reflection.MethodInfo method = typeof(Line).GetMethod(parameter);
    if (method == null) return; // or what ever you do on a worong paraemter

    method.Invoke(lines[lineIndex], new object[] { });
  }

A: In C#, it is impossible to concatenate a parameter (here lineNo) with a variable name to get an other variable name. You can't do something like Line[lineNo]X. Instead you can use a dictionary, look at this previous question. I advise you to use an array (or a List) so you can use the index to access the variable.

5. The app may also set up itself as a system bundle to forestall removing by the person.
Why is that this attention-grabbing?
high-profile instances appear to point a disturbing pattern in sophistication and prevalence of assaults on high-profile people. Notice the latest Pegasus Adware used on an Emirates human rights advocate by his authorities, and the assaults on Democratic party officers' cellphones.
Traditional anti-malware merchandise nonetheless don't do job of detecting them. The basic method requires making a signature for each new household of malware. This signature may be a string throughout the executable, a linked library or a compiled code pattern.
Creating such signatures requires a handbook inspection of the pattern and this is the reason conventional anti-virus and anti-malware software program options want frequent updating, take lots of time to run, and don't all the time succeed.
One other method includes executing an app in a sandbox (dynamic evaluation) which may detect components of those threats. As we've proven in AppSecEU 16, although, malicious apps can simply go away malicious code out when a sandbox is detected.
On this case, knowledge gathered from Skycure's crowd-sourced intelligence equipment confirmed this app as an anomaly. IT directors ought to concentrate on the good variety of Adware apps attackers should purchase simply on-line for utilizing these sorts of assaults.
How do I shield myself and my finish customers?
Once you add up these stats and mix it with threats like Exaspy, it's clear that IT needs to be proactive in at present's cellular market. It solely takes malware on one person's machine to place all the group in danger. We encourage all IT professionals to learn extra on how one can leverage platforms like Skycure's Enterprise Mobile Threat Defense answer to maintain person's secure.

APEX Insight: Fareportal becomes the first consumer booking channel to provide media-rich search results down to the exact seat.
Fareportal has integrated Routehappy by ATPCO Universal Product Attributes (UPAs) into the seat selection maps on CheapOair and OneTravel, its consumer-facing travel brands.
UPAs, which are powered by the Routehappy Hub content management system, provide visually appealing media such as photos, videos, and 360-degree cabin tours; as well as descriptions of an airline's products and services based on specific aircraft type, cabin, time of day, and more. Fareportal can now show seat images across different sub-fleets and cabins so consumers see only accurate and relevant UPAs for the specific flight they are interested in. While Amadeus and Expedia use Routehappy UPAs, this level of exact-seat specificity is a first.
The perennial challenge for multimedia search is getting enough data to provide meaningful results that also take advantage of multimedia capability. Not every carrier provides the same level of accuracy across every possible deal-making or -breaking aspect of the flight. As content quality and breadth increase, the cycle of technology and customer expectations fueling each other continues.

develops the European dimension in sport.
Erasmus+ offers mobility and cooperation opportunities in:
higher education;
vocational education and training;
school education (including early childhood education and care);
adult education;
youth;
and sport.
Detailed information on these opportunities, including eligibility criteria, is available in the Erasmus+ Programme Guide.
CEEPUS is an acronym for "Central European Exchange Program for University Studies".
Current member countries: Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, North Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia. Prishtina/Kosovo is also participating.
The legal basis for CEEPUS is an international Agreement signed by the member states and open for accession.
CEEPUS is based on lean management. The highest ranking decision making CEEPUS body is the Joint Committee of Ministers that meets once a year and takes all strategic decisions. Coordination, evaluation, program development and advertising are the main tasks of the Central CEEPUS Office. Each country has a National CEEPUS Office in charge of national implementation. In order to avoid setting up new administrative bodies, the National CEEPUS Offices are integrated into already existing structures, usually national agencies.
With CEEPUS, there is no transfer of funds: There is an internal currency of "1 scholarship month" instead. Each country pays its INCOMING students and teachers and has to pledge at least 100 scholarship months per academic year. The CEEPUS Agreement also specifies that these grants be comprehensive grants linked to the local cost of living. So far, experience has shown that this system works very well.
The main activity of CEEPUS are university networks operating joint programs ideally leading to Joint Degrees, esp. Joint Doctoral Programs. CEEPUS covers mobility grants for students and teachers in this framework.
The main objectives are:
Focus on joint PhD programmes;
Promote cooperation in the framework of EUSDR.

In 1946, in the aftermath of World War II, President Harry S. Truman signed legislation into law to establish the Fulbright Program, after Senator James William Fulbright proposed a bill to use the proceeds from selling surplus U.S. government war property to fund international exchange between the U.S. and other countries in September, 1945. The program became the U.S. government's flagship international educational and cultural exchange program, creating connections in a complex and changing world. Led by the U.S. government in partnership with 160 countries worldwide, Fulbright builds lasting connections between the people of the United States and the people of other countries—building mutual understanding between nations, advancing knowledge across communities, and improving lives around the world.
Since its inception, the Fulbright Program has given hundreds of thousands of passionate and accomplished students, scholars, teachers, artists, and professionals of all backgrounds and fields the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas, and contribute to finding solutions to important international problems.
The Fulbright Program operates in more than 160 countries worldwide and has provided approximately 400,000 participants with the opportunity to study, teach, or conduct research in each others' countries and exchange ideas.
Approximately 8,000 competitive, merit-based grants are awarded annually in most academic disciplines and fields of study.

Tweetable Quotes
"I think the biggest lesson you can have in money is not having any. There's only one thing that can really teach you about money and that's when you've got just about enough of it, and sometimes not enough of it. That was just a lesson from my life from pretty early on." (02:50)
"When I used to coach people, I would tell them, 'When you're building a business and when you're doing something that you enjoy doing, you hold yourself to a standard that's much higher.' And so, when you give your perceived seventy percent you're actually giving ninety-five percent of what anyone else would do because you hold yourself to a standard of excellence." (12:38)
"If you love what you do, you never stop wanting to do the twelve hours. It's just that you want to do your twelve hours, if that makes sense. The definition of success has really not changed. It's a very strict thing for me." (15:50)
"Podcasting became an industry when people like my mum understood that it was alright to get what you want when you want it as enabled by technology." (21:29)
"The podcasting industry right now has a tendency to basically just say, 'You shouldn't start a podcast if you're not gonna carry on with a podcast,' which is complete rubbish. Yeah, there might be tens of thousands or millions of dead podcasts out there but who cares? There's loads of dead YouTube channels. I can't go watch Firefly anymore or Jericho on TV. That's done, it's finished. What am I gonna do? The Godfather hasn't been remade. It's done." (33:17)
"The only way to succeed at anything is to be very good at it. That's it. Money comes from being very good at something. And the only way you can become good at something is by becoming confident in that thing. And the only way you can become confident is to become competent in it. And the only way to become competent is for it to be the thing that you do all the time without needing to think about doing the thing. You've got to enjoy it. You've got to love it." (36:59)

Do you struggle with money? You're not alone.
Money is a means, not an end. It's a necessity of life for sure, but more money does not always guarantee a "good life". Money enables many aspects of modern life, but as a dominant consideration it becomes destructive.
The paradox is that more time and energy spent on personal finance does NOT create better outcomes. Unlike many other parts of life, we can't create better outcomes by being smarter, spending more time, or putting in more effort.
Join Mindful Money author and experienced 40-year investor Jonathan DeYoe as he shares stories from artists, authors, entrepreneurs, and other advisors about how they mindfully minimize their need to think about money and get more out of life.
If you aren't happy with your finances, feel like money takes more time that it should, or want to place your financial decisions into the broader context of your life, this show is for you.
Each episode will draw the line between the "enough" activities that the academics tell us are additive to family outcomes, and those "little bit more" efforts that take time and sap energy, but do NOT improve outcomes.

Remove Confederacy Creed from Texas Capitol
"This is not accurate, and Texans are not well-served by incorrect information about our history," Straus said in his letter.
Remove Confederacy Creed from Texas Capitol "This is not accurate, and Texans are not well-served by incorrect information about our history," Straus said in his letter. Check out this story on caller.com: http://callertim.es/2xeG6HD
Corpus Christi Caller-Times Published 4:50 p.m. CT Sept. 19, 2017 | Updated 4:50 p.m. CT Sept. 19, 2017
This photo shows the Children of the Confederacy Creed plaque at the Capitol in Austin, Texas. A powerful Texas Republican is calling for the removal of the Confederate marker in the state Capitol that rejects slavery as an underlying cause of the Civil War. Republican House Speaker Joe Straus said Tuesday, Sept. 19, in a letter to state officials that the plaque is "blatantly inaccurate."(Photo: Jay Janner/AP)
Not all bronze men on horseback are instantly identifiable as defenders of slavery and not all people who favor preserving the display of Confederate monuments are racist. If they were, then the issue of what to do with Confederate icons would be open and shut in favor of removing them from the public square.
But there's one symbol at the Texas Capitol that is not — dare we say — a gray area. The Children of the Confederacy Creed, placed on Aug. 7, 1959, is fraught with deliberately false information about the War of the Rebellion.
We chose that name for the Civil War deliberately because 1) it's accurate and 2) because the plaque states falsely that "the War Between the States was not a rebellion, nor was its underlying cause to sustain slavery."
Yes it was, and yes it was.
And a big thank-you to Texas House Speaker Joe Straus for sending a letter to the State Preservation Board requesting that this offensive plaque be removed. All Texans should be alarmed that it exists in a prominent place at their state Capitol.
More: Straus says Confederate plaque in Capitol should be removed
Straus' objection is specific to this plaque. He is not seeking removal of bearded men in uniform, depicted in bronze or granite. He says Confederate monuments are "understandably important to many Texans."
But he also insists that plaques and monuments be "accurate and appropriate," which the Children of the Confederacy Creed clearly is not.
FILE - In this April 19, 2017, file photo, Texas Speaker of the House Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, talks with fellow lawmakers on the House floor at the Texas Capitol in Austin. Straus has for months opposed a "bathroom bill" targeting transgender people, saying the proposal could spark boycotts that could hurt the state's economy. The Legislature is heading into special session on Tuesday, July 25 and conservative groups have promised to target Straus and his key House lieutenants during March's GOP primaries if the issue doesn't pass. (AP Photo/Eric Gay, File) (Photo: Eric Gay, AP)
"This is not accurate, and Texans are not well-served by incorrect information about our history," Straus said in his letter to the State Preservation Board.
The issues raised by a statue of Robert E. Lee that was removed recently from the grounds of the University of Texas are not nearly as easily resolved. Many black people see the Lee statue and other statues of Confederates as celebrating the oppression of their ancestors. Not everyone agrees with them. But their opinions should carry great weight. They are the descendants not only of slaves, but of people who were oppressed after slavery ended, when the monuments were erected.
Those monuments were erected mostly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in defiance of the ugly central truth about the war — that it was a treasonous insurrection to protect slavery. Black people's opinions about the statues didn't matter to the powers-that-be who put them up to glorify the so-called cause.
Today, the hurt feelings of descendants of Confederates about the removal of what they proudly call their heritage continue to matter greatly. We all should ask ourselves why.
But we don't need to soul-search at all about Speaker Straus' call to remove the mean-spirited Children of the Confederacy Creed, erected in the Age of Television. The right decision — removal — is as black-and-white as can be.

With its quick-release catches, the mounting bracket allows for the VBOX Video HD2 to be secured in the car but also quickly removed.
The customer will need to supply a metal or plastic sheet with four M4 bolts or rivets fitted in alignment with the clamp's quick-release catches; or the bolts/rivets can be inserted directly into the vehicle chassis. The clamp then secures the HD2 onto the sheet or chassis but removal is quick and easy by simply moving the catches back.
The mounting clamp has pads on its inner faces to stop the HD2 being scratched.

Before Joan Didion left New York, she fell in love with it, "the way you love the first person who ever touches you and never love anyone quite that way again," she writes in "Goodbye to All That." She was young, and the city made her feel — not always good, but something — and so even though she did not buy any furniture, she lingered, for months and then years longer than she had planned.
In that 1967 essay, Didion tried to describe some of the fundamental questions of urban life before almost anyone else. What makes a person belong to a city? What makes her stay? What makes her go? She was exploring a new set of words to identify a problem that almost no one had tried to describe.
But starting in the 1970s, psychologists starting formulating their own language to describe relationships between people and place. "It is imperative to ask the question, 'What are the effects of the built environment?' not only in regard to the personality development of the individual, but also in terms of how he defines himself within society," wrote the psychologist Harold Proshansky.
While it's hard to compete with Joan Didion, the language of social science does have some of its own advantages in sussing out how it is we're all moving through the world. When researchers have looked at place attachment in cities, they've found that people tend to be very attached to cities — more than to their neighborhoods.
In their work, Casakin, Hernandez and Ruiz looked at how place attachment and identity varied with city size in Israel. They found, in line with previous research, that their subjects identified more strongly with their city than with their neighborhood. But the scale of the city mattered too. Their subjects were more attached to their city if they lived in a small one or a big one; residents of medium cities didn't have the same level of emotional attachment. And subjects who lived in big cities felt more strongly identified with their city than subjects living in small or medium cities.
It's long been understood that large-scale, unique places can inspire people to feel a connection with them — but often, that research has focused on natural places. "Some of the earliest work about place attachment dealt with big, bold places outside the city" — grand, dramatic landscapes, like Yellowstone, or other national parks, says Kathleen Wolf, a social scientist at the University of Washington, who studies nature in cities.
If people make similar connections with the grand landscapes of urban places, then it suggests, as Casakin, Hernandez and Ruiz write, that to connect people with place "urban planners … should direct their efforts to enhancing identity with city over identity with neighborhood." Planners might, for instance, focus on projects that make a cityscape unique. "A clear image of the city can enable residents to feel comfortable, secure and emotionally involved, to identify with that city," they write.
Identity is always, in the end, individual: Didion felt she would pay an emotional price for her attachment to New York because she would never identify with it — that, unlike Botton's writers, she "did not belong." Her excuse, though, was that she "did not come from there." In their work, though, Casakin, Hernandez and Ruiz found that, at least among their subjects, non-natives identified with their cities just as strongly as natives. It should be possible, in other words, to become a New Yorker, even for people who did not come from there. It just wasn't for Joan Didion.

Everyone loves Las Vegas for the entertainment, night life and casino action. Yet golfers also flock to Las Vegas due to the fantastic golf opportunities that can be found throughout the Sin City. There are over 50 courses for players to practice their swing, set up a game with business clients, or book a golf vacation. Yet certain times of the year are more ideal to set a tee time than others, as knowing when to go will allow you to save money, avoid the crowds and enjoy great weather in this frenetic city.
Typically, there is hardly any rain to contend with in Las Vegas that can spoil your game. Even the wettest month there will only result in about a half-inch of rain at worst. Summers are extremely hot with temperatures averaging well above 100 while winters are cool yet still comfortable. One thing to take note is that it can get very windy in this state all year round, and the wind is very unpredictable as it can get as gusty as 90 mph. Check out the following breakdown of the best tee times and weather based on the season.
When spring weather arrives, people are out on the golf course in droves. Definitely a crowded season, spring rates rise just like the warmer temperatures. In fact, golf courses can get very pricey, as you need to shop around for the best rates and an open tee time. There is no specific time of the day to get the best chance at a round of golf during this season. Just keep in mind that the temperatures can drop into the 40s or lower at night so you want to layer up for the cooler weather. The high temperatures usually range from the 50s in March to the high 80s in May during this season.
It's hot out there, baby! June temperatures are in the 100s and it gets even hotter in July and August. So people aren't standing out on the golf courses during the heat of the day. Instead, they are seeking the coolest spots in pools and enclosed, air conditioned spaces. If you can stand the heat, book a tee time early in the day. Mornings can let you play a few rounds before the heat gets to you. If you play during the day, seek out the best methods to stay cool by keeping hydrated, resting in shady spots, taking breaks and cooling yourself down with a wet towel on the head.
Fall temperatures drop so hotels are booking more people as golf courses will become crowded this time of year. Also, golf rates will begin to rise as you'll have to look for courses that offer the challenges you want at the prices you can afford. The interesting thing about the Fall golf season is that people will be getting more tee times in the early morning hours so they will be finished in the afternoons to pursue other entertainment, such as watching football and hockey games at the sports bar. So booking a tee time in the afternoon is the best option when you want to get a game in.
Golf courses don't close down in the winter in Las Vegas except on holidays. The cool temperatures appeals to many golfers who will bundle up and spend the entire day on the course. So you still might find high prices at certain golf course. Shop around and compare the rates and tee times to pick the right place for a few swings of the iron.
There is so much to love about Las Vegas, including the professional golf courses that are available. So get your electric trolley or Remote Control Electric Golf Trolleys from Cart Tek and get out to the Sin City for a few rounds. You'll love the weather when stepping up to the tee.


A Winner is Crowned in New Jersey Monthly's 2018 Pizza Poll!
Fresh out of the oven, we have a winner in New Jersey Monthly's 2018 Pizza poll, sponsored by Reno's Appliance. Reservoir Restaurant in South Orange has come out on top and can officially claim to be New Jersey's favorite pizza.
The original Reservoir Restaurant was opened in 1935 in Newark by Vincenza Agnellino, a widow with six children. Vincenza would be proud of her grandchildren, siblings Bill Agnellino and Barbara Camarata, who run the restaurant their family moved to South Orange in 1965. Quality ingredients, their own sauce recipe and the black steel pans in which dough crisps make Reservoir pizza special. Designing your own? Meatballs, made in house, and fresh-fried eggplant make one of the simplest and best pies.
Some 4,774 votes were cast in the Championship Round, the most votes of any round in the four-week competition. We started with 50 pizza restaurants from throughout the state, and reduced the field to 30 for the second week, 10 for the third week, and 4for the Championship Round. In addition to Reservoir Restaurant, the final four were Patsy's in Paterson, Tony D's in Caldwell and Star Tavern in Orange.
Congratulations to the winner, and thank you for participating in our 2018 Pizza Poll!

Dan Richer, chef/owner of Razza's in Jersey City is consistently nominated for James Beard awards. The pizza makes "Best Of…" lists for New York City, despite being in another state. I find this list of finalists quite hard to believe.
Indeed, New Jersey Monthly agrees that Razza in Jersey City is among the best in the state. Razza was on the original list of 50 contenders in the Pizza Poll but did not receive enough votes in the early rounds to advance to the Final Four.
Now you know what you're talking about.
Vics in Bradley Beach serves the best thin crust pizza you will find on the shore…. too bad they weren't in the list.
receive enough votes in the early rounds to advance to the Final Four.
Why not try a restaurant that uses fresh products before deciding the rest are "bad"? Artisan Pizza type restaurants generally use only fresh ingredients, are partnered with local farmers and support sustainability within communities. An open mind has great rewards!
This list is silly. While I would contend that Talula's in Asbury Park is indeed the best pizza in NJ, the fact that Razza in Jersey City, rated the best pizza in New York City (though in NJ) by the NY Times, isn't on the list is farcical. Also conspicuous by its absence are Arturo's in Maplewood and The Reservoir Tavern in Parsippany.
NOT FAIR! The Village Trattoria in Maplewood is hands down the best place in the state! REALLY GUYS? I did not vote for any because "The Tratt" wasn't listed — have you seen that place on a Friday night? OMG its the town kitchen!
Having raised my children in Maplewood and lived there over 30 years and still eating and shopping there, it's not hard to understand why someone might believe the pizza is best at Trattoria. Unfortunately, there is little real competition in town. Any wonder its crowded on Friday night. Comparing with other towns of NJ though is very different.
I used to live in West Orange and used the Tratt for takeout, but I hated eating there — both in South Orange and Maplewood. The service is the worst!
This list totally misses the mark. How ever did it get created!?!? How about Big Apple Pizza in Cranford? or Roma Pizza in Garwood? Or another two in Cranford 1- Il Giardino's Restaurant 2- Vinny's Pizza? They all deserve to be on the list. These competitions do not give credit to those restaurants that belong on the "best" lists.
I doubt Vinny's uses fresh products Or, maybe they do! Educate us!
I live in Cranford and have been to each place that you mentioned and honestly none of them are anywhere near the top places in NJ! In fact – Mama's in Garwood and Scaturro's in Cranford are better than any that you mentioned!
I agree that Scaturro's does belong on the list. Also living in Cranford, our town deserves to be represented.
I really like the pizza at Moore's Tavern. Their pies are incredible, their toppings are all top quality, it's my fav.
No Deninos Pizza Place of Aberdeen? Heresy!
I'll wait for Pete Genovese to do his annual Pizza poll. This one has none of the real Pizza joints in Jersey.
You must not have many subscribers in the Central part of state, Mercer, where the BEST Pizzas(Tomatoes Pies) are?
The original list of 40 contenders in the Pizza Poll included DeLorenzo's in Hamilton, and De Lorenzo's Tomato Pies and Papa's Tomato Pies, both in Robbinsville. But none of those Mercer County purveyors of tomato pies received enough votes in the early rounds to advance to the Final Four.
How sad. If you haven't tried a real TOMATO PIE then you can't know what good is.
We all have our favorite styles and places. I prefer thin crust, crisp so that it can stand out straight when held by the edge. Good sauce, quality cheese, and FLAVOR FROM THE OVEN all add up to a great pizza. I travel miles and miles to get a good pizza. I even go to Frank Pepe's in New Haven, Ct. when passing through and bring a pie back to NJ. Micheal Angelo's in Fairfield, Bevaqua's Reservoir Tavern in Boonton, all provide the above mentioned qualities that result in a great pie. But Patsy's in Paterson is my favorite, hands down. Even their pepperoni is a higher quality. It is smaller and cut thick. The dough is completely different than any other. It isn't hand tossed, it is rolled out by hand. Traveling through Paterson's rough and tumble neighborhoods with their pot hole filled streets is never a pleasant experience. But the pizza at Patsy's is well worth the drive. If you can, you should get there and try it.
Does anyone know if Ralph's in Nutley and/or Santillo's in Elizabeth were on the original list and if so at which point they were voted out? Thanks.
Given all the amazing pizza options in the state of NJ and the originals on this list, the group of finalists, while they have their merits, are very disappointing.
Here is who would be on my finalists' list: Kinchley's in Ramsey, Emma's in Cranford, and Emilio's in Manchester.
Back in the '90's it was Casa Di Pizza on Bloomfield Ave. in Bloomfield. It was not a thin crust, but it was the lightest, airiest crust ever, and the best plain pizza I've ever had. Their ingredients were always top notch, and they made a potato and egg pizza to die for! I wish I knew where the moved, if they even moved or just gave it up when they closed.
There are too many great pizza joints in NJ to crown a single winner. The results should be based on region. That way I can guarantee a good pizza wherever I travel in NJ!

Now open in the space that until earlier this year housed long time neighborhood favorite Lyric Diner, Taverna brings a welcome glimpse of Greek cuisine to an area whose prior options were largely relegated to gyro platters at diners and pizza shops.
I have fond memories of Lyric—I used to eat there regularly back in the 1980's with my then-future, now-ex-wife who was a film student at SVA. Back then it was the go-to place for SVA students,when options were more limited. These days there is a proliferation of alternatives, not to mention a significant shift in dinning habits. Lyric, famous for its large neon sign, was as classic a Greek-style diner as one could find, and I assumed it would stand the test of time, so I was surprised and saddened when it closed. But there are still a many decent diners in the area, but far fewer Greek restaurants. Taverna has changed that.
And if anything had to replace Lyric, I think a Greek restaurant is wholly appropriate, given that Greek immigrants have had such a profound impact of diners across America and in New York in particular. Taverna's opening is also part of a larger trend—there have been a slew of Greek restaurant openings in Manhattan recently—Ammos Estiatorio and Village Taverna being two recent examples. Taverna is a worthy addition.
Whether manufactured or real, there is a family vibe to the restaurant. The all-male waiters jostle and joke with each other as if they are brothers from one very large family. The host position is occupied by two slender, olive skinned women who could be sisters. A gruff old man with a bushy beard mans the full bar—grandpa perhaps? Whether the atmosphere is real or contrived isn't as important as the food delivering, which it mostly does.
The Lamb Souvlaki on pita with greek salad and oregano fries ($14, pictured at top) is probably the most assimilated, familiar dish on the menu, but it is a rousing rendition—the hunks of lamb (ordered and delivered medium rare) are succulent and smoky. The large floppy pita is airy with just the right amount of char from its time on the grill. I am particularly impressed with the salad, which was fresh and beautiful to behold.
Start off with the Patzaria ($8)—tender cubes of roasted beets served with a thick schmear of scordalia (more commonly spelled skordalia), redolent with garlic and olive oil—and you won't be disappointed. Especially if you have overloaded on beets and goat cheese in the last few years and are looking for a new salad or dip.
Don't let these ear-sized wedges of Halloumi ($9) cool too much—they sill taste good, but not nearly as much when they are piping hot. The red pepper emulsion adds a nice tang to compliment the creaminess of the cheese.
I am not sure that I necessarily buy that the Moussaka ($16) is a "secret family recipe," but it is wonderful nonetheless. For a dish that looks like a brick and is often as dense as one, Taverna's version is unexpectedly light and airy. It tastes great too, with the creamy potato, earthy lamb, and eggplant all adding their own distinct layers of flavor.
The only disappointment was a veal shank ($21) that tasted more like mutton (not in a good way), and proved to be a rather meager portion despite the generous helping of orzo. Of course I ordered a braised meat dish in the middle of summer, they probably don't sell too many. That doesn't excuse stale product, but it raises the question as to why it is even there in this heat.
That aside, I look forward to dining at Taverna again. It is a welcome addition to the neighborhood and a place I would be happy to spend my own money.

Q: Redirect to a different sub-domain from Outlook add-in page I'm currently working on the modification to our Outlook Add-In that requires redirecting a user to a different sub-domain depending on which region the user belongs to. The sub-domain page loads with an office.js exception:

Function ContextActivationManager_getAppContextAsync call failed. ErrorCode is -2, exception: Failed origin check

Our setup looks like this:

*

*https://outlook.company.com - the domain hosts all urls from the add-in manifest file such as functionFile, composeTaskPane and readTaskPaneUrl

*https://outlook.subdomain.company.com - that's the sub-domain user is redirected to from readTaskPaneUrl for example. The page also references office.js and allows THE user to perform all regular add-in actions.
Adding subdomain URL to the AppDomains section of the manifest file works fine. But we'd like to avoid that to have the flexibility of adding new sub-domains without re-publishing the add-in. Is there a way to resolve this?

A: Would it perhaps be feasible for you to create a Web API in the outlook.company.com domain to proxy requests to the appropriate outlook.subdomain.company.com subdomain(s)? That way, your add-in code would only be accessing resources in the outlook.company.com domain, thereby eliminating the need to specify the subdomains in the AppDomains section of the manifest.

Q: Apache nutch performance tuning for whole web crawling I am going to use nutch for crawling around 300 web pages. The crawl works fine until around 6 mins! after it starts to becomes slower and slower until it drops to near zero performance. I check the log and it seems that the number of spinWaiting threads increases with passing the time. Would you please guide me through this problem?!
Here is my nutch-site.xml config file:
 <property>
   <name>plugin.folders</name>
   <value>/home/nutch/workspace/trunk/src/plugin</value>
 </property>
 <property>

<property>
  <name>parser.skip.truncated</name>
  <value>false</value>
  <description>Boolean value for whether we should skip parsing for truncated documents. By default this
  property is activated due to extremely high levels of CPU which parsing can sometimes take.
  </description>
</property>
<property>
  <name>db.ignore.external.links</name>
  <value>true</value>
  <description>If true, outlinks leading from a page to external hosts
  will be ignored. This is an effective way to limit the crawl to include
  only initially injected hosts, without creating complex URLFilters.
  </description>
</property>
<property>
  <name>fetcher.server.delay</name>
  <value>1.0</value>
  <description>The number of seconds the fetcher will delay between
   successive requests to the same server.</description>
</property>
<property>
  <name>http.max.delays</name>
  <value>2</value>
  <description>The number of times a thread will delay when trying to
  fetch a page.  Each time it finds that a host is busy, it will wait
  fetcher.server.delay.  After http.max.delays attepts, it will give
  up on the page for now.</description>
</property>
<property>
  <name>fetcher.server.min.delay</name>
  <value>0.5</value>
  <description>The minimum number of seconds the fetcher will delay between
  successive requests to the same server. This value is applicable ONLY
  if fetcher.threads.per.host is greater than 1 (i.e. the host blocking
  is turned off).</description>
</property>

  <name>fetcher.threads.per.host</name>
  <value>3</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>fetcher.threads.fetch</name>
  <value>100</value>
  <description>The number of FetcherThreads the fetcher should use.
  This is also determines the maximum number of requests that are
  made at once (each FetcherThread handles one connection). The total
  number of threads running in distributed mode will be the number of
  fetcher threads * number of nodes as fetcher has one map task per node.
  </description>
</property>
<property>
  <name>generate.max.count</name>
  <value>10000</value>
  <description>The maximum number of urls in a single
  fetchlist.  -1 if unlimited. The urls are counted according
  to the value of the parameter generator.count.mode.
  </description>
</property>
<property>
 <name>fetcher.max.crawl.delay</name>
 <value>10</value>
 <description>
 If the Crawl-Delay in robots.txt is set to greater than this value (in
 seconds) then the fetcher will skip this page, generating an error report.
 If set to -1 the fetcher will never skip such pages and will wait the
 amount of time retrieved from robots.txt Crawl-Delay, however long that
 might be.
 </description>
</property>
<property>
  <name>generate.max.per.host</name>
  <value>3</value>
</property>

Best regards.

A: I think the value for generate.max.count is pretty high, if a site is slow and you have for example 10000 urls for that site, that might slow it down.
You should try reducing that number.
